With instructive text by L. Keating Johnson, additional text and musical examples by Wesley Jacobs, Grigoriev 50 Etudes is a comprehensive book for tubists.

Winston Morris, Mark A. Nelson, Timothy J. Northcut, Daniel Perantoni, Philip Sinder, Joseph Skillen, Kenyon Wilson, and Jerry A. Young.

The 50 Etudes by Boris Grigoriev are inspiring and diverse examples of romantic etude writing. Originally written for tuba, they are transposed and adapted for tenor and bass trombone by Randall Hawes, bass trombonist of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Mastering the use of alternate positions is a crucial building block to developing excellent slide technique leading to a smooth and beautiful legato sound. The common sense use of the valves-and slurring while using the valves-are essential skills. Mr. Hawes offers instructive text and musical examples to achieve these goals.

These etudes transcribed from the vocalises of Bordogini have been specially prepared for use by the trombonists, to perfect their technic generally and in particular to develop style in the interpretation of melody in all its varied forms of expression.

The foundation for good technique is acquired by mastering these studies. This is the premier edition of the Kopprasch Opus 6 Etudes for tuba. Dr. Jerry Young gives detailed instructions for every etude. These studies work well for both low (BBb-CC) and high (Eb-F) tubas
